This Order temporarily exempts relevant employers from the prohibition imposed under section 84(1) of the Act and the related criminal offence of providing immigration advice or immigration services in breach of section 84. The exemption applies to employers or their staff in cases where the advice or services are provided only to employees or prospective employees who have been granted valid work permits for that employment, and where the advice or services are provided in connection with that employee or their immediate family only.
This Order continues the temporary exemption created by S.I. 2001/1393 insofar as that Order related to relevant employers. This Order is time-limited to 31st December 2002.
